Has anybody got any favourite "One hit wonders"

To start off, here's a few of mine.

B. Bumble and the Stingers "Nut Rocker"

Zager and Evans "In the Year 2525 "

The Archies "Sugar Sugar"

And my favourite of all times.

Norman Greenbaum "Spirit in the Sky"

Nina Simone... My mum is a huge fan and named me after her (even though it was her stage name). But then again, who wants to be called Eunice?!

I still have the original "In the year 25 25" single, it's under the stairs in a box with loads of other old records and I don't have a record player any more, was going to bin them but it was bought for me by someone I remember fondly.

Ace "How Long" although it was their only hit, Paul Carrack went on to have further hits with Squeeze "Tempted" & Mike and the Mechanics "The Living Years"

Is Nina Simone really a One-Hit-Wonder, though?

"Feelin' Good" and "I Put A Spell On You" seem to get played and covered all over the place...

Tubeway Army were apparently a 1HW, but only because they changed to reflect Gary Numan as a solo career. Still like their stuff, though.

MARRS with Pump Up The Volume is pretty memorable.

Can tell that video is old as Jeremy Clarckson still has hair, I guess he must have been a bit short of cash to accept a job driving Mr blobby.
